Every time I've gone downtown in the past couple of months, I've thought about Sunny the Pooch. If you've forgotten, back in July, in broad daylight, some degenerate pulled over to the side of the road on the Second Street Bridge and tossed Sunny the Pooch over the edge into the Ohio River. Sunny's attempted murder was witnessed by dozens of people both on the bridge and at Joe's Crab Shack. But some marvelous instance of serendipity, it just so happened that some Louisville firefighters were on a diving training session and were able to save the dog's life. A waitress from Joe's immediately adopted the pooch (at one point it was reported that the waitress was going to have to move out of her apartment because it didn't allow more than one dog and she already had a dog-- what ever happened to that story?)
Well, folks, the degenerate has a name. It is Damon Bledsoe. And according to WLKY: According to arrest records, Bledsoe told four people that he threw the dog off the bridge and also threatened to throw a witness' two kittens "in the sewer."
I, for one, could not be more pleased to know that Damon Bledsoe is behind bars. Second degree animal cruelty? What's the penalty for that? Please please please be huge and painful.
What kind of person chucks a pup off of a bridge? And then TELLS people about it? Thank you "four people" for turning this m.f. in!
